ideas and motivated to develop their practice as part of a supportive team.

We are looking for someone who:
• Is passionate about teaching in EYFS and/or KS1
• Has high expectations and is committed to inspiring our children to achieve
• Understands the value of learning through play and purposeful provision
• Is committed to inclusion and meeting the needs of all learners
• Works collaboratively and communicates effectively with colleagues and families
• Shares our strong commitment to safeguarding and children’s wellbeing
• Supports and promotes the Catholic ethos of the school

We can offer:
• A successful school where “high expectations for pupils’ achievement” are evident and staff are
“valued and supported”
• Happy, well-behaved children who enjoy coming to school and love learning
• A skilled, dedicated and welcoming staff team
• A leadership team that is approachable, visible and mindful of staff workload

Further information and application forms are available from the school website: www.stgregpat.co.uk/home/vacancies. ECTs are welcome to apply.
